This question came from the other question posted about first looks. FI and I are doing a first look. One of the reasons is because I wanted to have pictures out of the way and be able to go to cocktail hour and relax with my guests, etc.
Last night I was talking to my mom about it, and she said FI and I cannot go to cocktail hour. She said it would be strange and we have to make a "big entrance" into the ballroom for the reception. I think we can go to cocktail hour, and still do a big entrance. What are your thoughts? Did any of you go to your cocktail hour?
